Recent cross-sectional and prospective epidemiological studies have demonstrated an
association between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis and human coronary heart …

Epidemiological studies support that chronic periodontal infections are associated with an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Previously, we reported that the periodontal …

Interaction between the major fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis and gingival epithelial
cells is important for bacterial adhesion and invasion. In this study, we identified integrins as …

Monocyte recruitment to the endothelium is a crucial step in the inflammatory response that
precedes the development of atherosclerosis. We assessed the effect of Porphyromonas …

Epidemiological and pathological studies have suggested that infection with the oral

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae are classified into six types (types I to V and Ib) based on
the fimA genes encoding FimA (a subunit of fimbriae), and they play a critical role in …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major periodontal pathogen, may contribute to atherogenesis
and other inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. However, little is known about interactions …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an important bacterium involved in periodontal diseases.
Colonization by periodontopathogens has been associated with severe local inflammatory …

Fimbriae have been reported to play an important role in the adherence of Porphyromonas
